That's what I'm thinking, my friend makes rings of the stuff in various sizes for air bushings, and the stuff is fragile, but very stiff and strong when supported properly. currently the ring of porous carbon is epoxied into an aluminum tube. We'd need ceramic bonder and SS tube.

I don't know, but a lot of different air and fuel pre-filters are porous sintered bronze. I was thinking of getting one really hot and pushing some white gasolene through it. I compressed some aluminum chips into a plug about 12mm dia and 20 long to try this out but I haven't yet.

I'd question the manufacturer regarding the ability of this unit to work in the enviornment in question, i.e., the intake tract of a pulsejet engine.
From what I get from their promotion this unit is geared towards working in the ambient enviornment

I think the extreme vibration of the pulsejet might be detrimental to the porous structure. And I think the company is going to be crushed by the competition. I like propane or butaine flowing over a catalytic gauze as in all the neat little cigarette lighters that can take a lot of wind and work fine, and the flames come in your choice of colors! Oh, and if you want a laugh, compare the crux of the matter, the cost of theirs vs. a butaine lighter. If it isn't cost effective, it isn't going to fly.

The burner contains an electric motor, a fuel pump and of course the vaporization nozzle. I got an used one from my uncle (he works at a heating system shop). He told me that the pump deliveres 5 to 20bar (I don't know in psi). Good vaporization takes place at about 10bar. He also said that there are different vaporizers available, which are different in the vaporization angle and the flow rate restriction.
If I get my lockwoods running on propane, I'll do some experiments with liquid fuels.

The only disadvantage is that the electric motor needs 230V/50Hz mains connection, though you won't be able fixing it on a cart or something.
But it should be optimal for static tests.
